Quote:We constantly harp on theists here for being so afraid to say, “I don’t know” about questions related to reality, that they just accept, with absolute certainty, some other answer that can’t be demonstrated. Meanwhile, Bel is here basically saying, “I’m not sure what I believe yet; I don’t know yet; I’m still reading and learning”, and you guys can’t wait to jump all over him, and call him a liar. That’s simply unfair. Not every atheist has to be a gnostic atheist just because you are. No one is intellectually obligated to hurry up and get to where you are on the spectrum of belief. Different people can be in different places on the same path, you know. I was an agnostic theist for three times as many years as I have been a strong atheist. Bel is clearly a voracious reader, and has a particular interest in several areas of philosophy related to the nature of our realty and of being. That doesn’t make someone a closet theist. I’m interested in those things too. Maybe you guys are the ones who are uncomfortable with the answer “I don’t know” when it comes to people who are still figuring out what their beliefs are.I'm sorry this is off .He constantly engages in obfuscation and double speak .

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
